It's in our blood.
It's in our vacations.
It's in our conversations.
We are TEACHERS.
We can't really take a break, summer or not. We are always planning and thinking and prepping and improving and thinking some more. This summer, focus the scattered thoughts to choosing just one or two areas to focus on for the coming school year.
Do you want to incorporate a new strategy?
Do you want to make your lessons more dynamic?
Maybe a concentrated effort to scaffolding instruction.
Time to integrate technology into your lessons?
Is this the year to enhance family communication?
So, take a deep breath...
Choose ONE focus area.
Delve into ideas.
Choose what appeals to you.
PLAN.
and
HAVE A GREAT YEAR!

So simple, but important to remember. I am the queen of multitasking and sometimes it makes me cross-eyed ;)
